Blue Origin matches that -- it's likely a Bezos-driven thing. I toured their facilities recently and what impressed me most is that they're building a base for repeatable, safe-as-airplanes space travel versus the get-to-Mars approach of SpaceX. Each stage of their development and planned development is along a clear, slow timeline to reach that end goal.

Er, SpaceX is "building a base for repeatable, safe-as-airplanes space travel". That's the whole point of BFR and point-to-point transportation on Earth with it as well. Safer than airplane travel is a must-have for space travel, SpaceX included. It's nice to know Blue Origin thinks like that too, but if you think that SpaceX doesn't have the same concern for safety, then I think you've drank too much BO kool-aid.
